HC Deb 25 July 1934 vol 292 c1781W
Mr. LECKIE

asked the Home Secretary whether any official in his Department scrutinises the many competitions run by the daily and weekly Press, some of them for very large prizes, to test their bona. fides?

Sir J. GILMOUR

No, Sir. The enforcement of the law rests with the responsible chief officers of police. Should, however, any scheme come to the notice of the Home Office which appears to contravene the provisions of the law, the attention of the police would be! called to it.
